At the Monte Carlo Masters, Stan Wawrinka made an impressive comeback triumph, but Andy Murray was eliminated in straight sets.
Both players, who have won three Grand Slam titles, had different results against Tallon Griekspoor and Alex de Minaur in their opening round matches.
Wawrinka, who hasn’t competed since Indian Wells last month, defeated the Dutchman with a score of 5-7 6-3 6-4, while Murray was easily defeated by the Australian with a score of 6-1 6-3.
“It was really important to stay calm with myself,” Wawrinka said. “In the first round you need to find your game. I am happy to get through. It was important to fight until the end.”
